This ode to an almost forgotten artist is a beautiful initiative and an intriguing total concept. By taking a historical approach, the makers give the history of the graphic design profession a platform and erect a statue to Koetsier. A special side programme has been developed around the series, with a symposium featuring lectures by designers and makers and an exhibition that also introduced young designers and artists to a new name in history. A heartfelt project that inspired the immediate collaboration of numerous colleagues, resulting in a chorus of individual voices that expressed a shared message.
